limited edition orange vinyl promos. the first solo 12 inch for samurai music by rising kiwi star dose. co-writer of one of the labels biggest ever selling releases (the other part of me with trei), the recent uk migrant comes with what we feel is his best work to date. >reason being< defines the term roller, and with its euphoric middle section mixes the ruffness of its driving rhythm with the silky smoothness of its melodic overcoat. >helpless< is another tech funk masterpiece from dose which has been competing strongly for a side status since we signed this 12 inch. dj support from klute, teebee, spectrasoul, marky, break, logistics, phace, state of mind and many more. watch for the forthcoming dose full length album in late 2011 on samurai music.

heavy duty remix ep (accompanying the first sic! release on meakusma) features reworks by errorsmith, lowlow and quarion. errorsmith remodels orange sky, in his inimitable style, into a bouncing bomb, solely focused on making the dancefloor explode in delirious delight. lowlows version explores the darker side of the track, conjuring up a syncopated nu disco rhythm that sounds claustrophobic and ecstatic at the same time. quarion takes orange sky to the beach and gives it a balearic house feel.

over the last couple of years, christopher rau has built a reputation as the finest ear canal masseuse in the contemporary house music scene, catching the attention of fellow hamburger dj koze who has recruited him for this new three-track ep. raus debut full-length asper clouds, released in the fall, was noted for straddling the line between >club< and >headphone< music, earning 4 out of 5 stars from resident advisor along the way, and now, with the how are you ep, he follows up to further explore his sonic approach: an assault of subtlety. >pervading animal< is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing christopher raus ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. then, on the flip side, he lets his weirdness factor shine. at first, >c f r< sounds like by-the-numbers muppet new age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. the ep denouements with >how are you today<, marked by a toasty chord progression thats playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact. you want to believe

paul hughes and aruba teaming up for this latest offering from siesta music. >these days< is a lush late night groover, combining a rich bassline with a drifting vocal stab, tight beats, and dubby chords for some quality deep house. aruba adds a little old skool flavor to his >those drumz mix< via new analog synth lines and a new bassline, while the beats, now more of a tribal rhythm, still keep the floor crowds moving. the >those nights mix< will throw you all off, with the track slowed to a crawling skank with a deep bassline and recliner beats pitting wits with a slowed down take of the vocal.

hot off the heals of the core series reissue of >i feel the rhythm<, slow to speak offers its latest edition of prescription family represses: glenn undergrounds >mighty real groove<. released under his early moniker, c.v.o, >mighty real groove< beats into even the most stubborn ears the truth of trent & co.s collective of hand-picked mid-west talent. the 1995 masterpiece is a devastating, pulverizing party-rocker that utilizes the used and abused sylvester sample so typical of the disco era and re-cultivates its simple universality in a way that avoids the cliches of discos expired optimism. add the smart chord progression and one of the most un-subtle, chest-reverberating, entrails-twisting, thor-hammering bass lines ever to grace a deep house record and you have >mighty real groove<: a party jam that still wields the musical elegance and warmth of the prescription catalog. hammered to death by theo parrish & so many more, this time-tested c.v.o classic has signed up for a second tour of duty, spreading the true underground gospel to those unbelievers who still dwell in the mansion of shadow and despair

>smile around the face< represents the ecstatic return of kieran hebden, aka four tet. following the worldwide success of his groundbreaking album >rounds<, hebden has re-engaged with the dancing in his head, and made a monumental rhythm-based explosion of sound and joy.

coma - the cologne based duo marius bubat and georg conrad have grown in leaps and bounds since their 2008 debut for firm recordings. since then, they have followed with highlight contributions to the last two total series and of course their acclaimed single crystal (kompakt 199) - both of which were released on kompakt. their live shows have established the act as a leading duo locally not to mention earning them fans across europe and asia. on famous , their new 12 for kompakt, we see coma embrace the art of melody and warmth more so than in past releases - an endearing maturity that you hear thoughout this gorgeously produced ep . starting off with playground altona - coma bring their techno/house euphoria to new levels in shimmering bath of disco glow. the ambient warmth of fameless succumbs to a floating bass kick as the sound of children play in the background. as raindrops fell outside of the studio - the boys used it as inspiration for raindrops - a sure winning track on this single as a familiar voice carries you amongst a severely catchy rhythm. a set ender of all set finales

rome, italy native fabio bacchini has been holding it down for underground house music with his label mind travel, but takes a step to the left to give us a hot little ep on transport. the roman disco ep is exactly what it says on the box: no fancy gimmicks here, this release is comprised of four solid disco house jams. the first tune >weekender< is a nice phase guitar loop jam with signature disco pulsating strings amidst the happy snapping snare beats and soul train vocal snips. next is my favorite cut, >money talks<, a straight up disco rhodes organ jam a la the crusaders. add some saxophone in there for points with ladies, and you have yourself a jam. on the flip we have >in the mood< is takes the mood a bit deeper with a nice n spacey groove amidst a rhythm heavy beat. throw some synth strings and keys riffs in there for good measure and there you have it... disco house. sometimes stays within the same formula but brings a more pulsating sound that pushes the music. the tune is still deep and groovy as the ep winds down...

one of the highlights from the recent nightstarter 8 compilation – on my mind gets a remix treatment from the hottest trio of club cowboys right now. roberto rodriguez digs out his 909 out of the closet and works out a mid 90s inspired slammer, not far away from the golden times of strictly rhythm. added sample vox and the shuffled drums drives this up to the max before dropping some serious organ madness into the game. sure fire floor burner. for the vocal shy, we have included the dub as well. mano le tough brings us some of his trademark balearic deep techno which we just love to play! damn fine arrangement coupled with soothing melodies and a churner of a bassline makes this one of his finest remixes – we are happy to welcome mano on moodmusic for his first, but definitely not last guest appearance.

olm029 - layo & bushwacka! - double a side summer gone/what do you say now layo and bushwacka! spent most of last year recording, the first offering from this period came at the end of last year with their endangered ep on plus 8. we now present their first release on their own label in eleven months. summer gone is a groove that starts on an up that slowly breaks down and brings in sounds, voices, rhythm and then kicks back with a really strong vocal and groove. what do you say now hits from the moment it begins with a stripped down sound and dub vocal and then slams with strong percussion and then back to the groove. totally tested out by layo & bushwacka! but supported big by the only two other djs with copies, richie hawtin and laurent garnier.

just a few minutes till impact. final approach, three, two, one… stephan bodzin and marc romboy aint no astronauts. they are first and foremost musicians, producers and long time friends. both would admit that arguing and talking music is as important as making it. together with their own long running imprints, systematic recordings and herzblut recordings, they have proven how to build up a distinct label sound. however, similar to some well-known astronauts, the word >luna< has a very special meaning to the musicians because its the name of marcs daughter and coincedently that of stephans wife as well. therefore it had been the obvious choice when they were looking for a fitting title name back in 2005. six years on, and the project nears its final touchdown and is honored with a an outstanding vinyl-set of six records!!! 16 different producers from all over the world take you to a musical orbit, starting in germany with moritz von oswald (basic channel, rhythm & sound), dominik eulberg, chris liebing, oliver huntemann, martin buttrich (desolat), roman flügel (dial) und robag wruhme (pampa records), continuing with speedy j (plus 8) from the netherlands, minilogue from sweden and even abe duque and brendon moeller from new york from the u.s.a.. an electronic transmission from the moon to the earth takes a little more than one second to cover the distance. but when listening to >luna<, you wont dare to think in minutes or seconds ignition sequence start, trois, deux, unité!

dj pepo presents: inspired! pepos own label to release his consistently evolving techno sound. dj pepo is one of the pioneers and most quoted djs of spains techno scene. each booth pepo touches with one of his naturally electric sets is filled with both rhythm and force, dazzling audiences all over spain. speaking of pepo is to speak of an authentic reference of spanish electronic music who has had a hand in the scenes history and evolution. he is a time bomb in the shape of music, getting richer with age and improving on each and every set with unexpected technical manuevers that jolt audiences alive and bathe their senses with musical delights. this release is another showcase of his pumping big room techno with the sharp edge, this time backed up by 3 tracks from his friends dj stay, dj lizana & smull and last but not least joton from the new rhythmic record store and label! dont sleep over this one!

limited to 200 copies! in the past, new york city hasnt been considered much of a haven for forward-thinking techno and tech-house — but it is now, thanks in no small part to the resolute crew. queen of mars is a gleaming slice of timeless techno soul, its tough, throbbing rhythm overlaid with shimmering, detroit-tinged chords!

following the success of his debut ep, komisch is delighted to put out the next instalment from sp-x. like his first release, the three tracks on field lines never end capture the essence of contemporary techno - austere and functional, yet deeply resonating. field construction starts with crackle of a broken power cable accompanying brittle percussion and a juggernaut rhythm, before dank filters, distorted riffs and a combination of doubled up claps and hissing hats bring the track to an irresistibly dark climax. internalize follows a similar path, but straight away sp-x plots a more ominous course, with a muffled filter making way for jarring riffs, a grubby acid line and killer claps. last but certainly not least, flux is constructed using dense rhythms, deadweight, iron bar beats and a howling siren riff that sounds like it came from beyond. all the while, sp-xs rasping, firing percussion weaves in and out. these are deadly effective techno tracks, streamlined for use on big speakers - but dont take our word for it, try them out yourselves!

aldo cadiz is one of the most well known djs and producers from chile and head of the label disco royal music. in the year 2000 he opened his own club in chile called casa club which was his homebase for him and many many djs from all over the world. his 1st release on lust und freu.de musik called >spanked ep< contains two very energetic and groovy tracks called >fuego< and >spanked<. the track >fuego<, which he produced together with his friend flavio lodetti from italy has a very deep basic structure which is decorated with spacey click drums, toms and snares rounded off by an amazing vocal that gives this track a deep soul. the track >spanked< is a classic cadiz style house track and pure rhythm. a very dry piece straight for the dancefloor.

oslo says hello to 2011 with a great ep again from one of the best electronic producers at the moment, guillaume & the coutu dumonts. we all know his eps on oslo, so we can be sure that he will not dissapoint. on the a side we find >praise to the beat maker< an amazing track with lyrics by dave aju, you will never take this track out of your mind. the rhythm is 100% guillaume. the second track of the ep >promess-lovin< gives the main melody to the release, and with some female vocals remains us one of the best old school house periods. the last track >all you have to do< is a very slow and musical track, wich keeps the line of the ep and at the same time add something different.

so what is the sound of progressive disco? well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early seventies but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest djs success if played at the right time. that formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with south american percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. we change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun.

here is the 2nd 12 inch with cuts from the forthcoming grooveman spot 3rd solo project album >runnin pizza<. this 2nd 12inch has some nice beatdown vibes going with a hip hop aesthetic.

with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!
